I'd forgotten about the ability to name my ship. It's an opportunity to be creative without the (sometimes) massive amount of work in creating a mod.

There was an entire thread about what names we give our ships, begun in 2005 and revived in 2012:

I know you can rename ships but im not very creative. I'd rather have lucky fortune or night rambler. Sounds much better than Guarda's ship o doom or something like that


"I really love 'Night Rambler'... but I wonder if this is historically accurate, since ships used to have female names?"

Night Rambler is historically accurate

according to the 'pedia:


Joseph Cooper (pirate)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Cooper_(pirate)
...

pirate active in the Caribbean and the American east coast

By 1725 Cooper was captain of the sloop Night Rambler

HMS Diamond engaged Cooper's ship at sea in the Bay of Honduras.
Rather than face capture, Cooper used a cask of gunpowder
to blow up the cabin of his ship.
